The Pro Ad Promotional Merchandise Expo returns bringing back the largest promotional merchandise showcase in the North East!

Relaunching on the back of celebrating 40 years of the business in action, the Pro Ad exhibition on March 15th is set to be a productive and exciting day with 30 stands showcasing 1000+ products. There is also two excellent speakers lined up; Craig Dallison, Chief Growth Officer of Everflow Water and Melissa Chevin, Managing Director of Globefish Consulting Limited and Board member of the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA).

Held at the home of the Falcons, West Stand, Kingston Park Stadium running from 9am to 3pm, visitors attendance is free but should be pre-registered on Eventbrite.

Carlo Nardini, founder of Pro Ad is delighted to see the return of the event, which had to take a break during the pandemic. He said:

“The Promotional Merchandise Expo is a fabulous day for anyone who buys or uses promotional products or corporate clothing. Attendees will discover thousands of products on display, hundreds of new product ideas, & the industry’s most pres tigious experts showcasing a wide range of sustainable and UK made products. There will also be many surprises which will make this event an entertaining and educational experience helping professionals increase branding impact and customer loyalty. I am very excited to host this day meeting new and existing suppliers and customers.”

Visitors will receive a goodie-bag that they can fill full of innovative ideas, along with being able to attend and enjoy two fantastic seminars benefitting all marketers. Loren Nardini, commercial director, said:

“We’ve got our whole team attending, including our corporate clothing and workwear experts sharing our latest range of garments and clothing accessories. They will be demonstrating lots of branding techniques to help you explore the different ways of personalising your brand, the best possible way, on your garments.

“Our team will also be on hand to talk about British and sustainable products. As if that isn’t enough our speakers will be focusing on ‘Brand Activation – it’s not always plain sailing’ and ‘sustainable promotions’. The event is a true landmark for our company as we wrap up our 40th year in business celebrations in style.”

Feedback from the previous Pro Ad Promotional Merchandising Expo held pre-pandemic was hugely positive with comments such as:

“Attending the Pro-Ad event was very useful, giving me access to a comprehensive display of new, innovative, and quirky promotional items as well as traditional products. I will definitely be attending again.” Kelly Bush, SSE
